Rome 1.3 freezes on Vista

[swilhelm73]

Since I've upgraded to v1.3 I've had two crashed were Rome stop responding. I have to then kill it via task manager.

This is a fairly rare occurance and I cannot see any obvious cause though there were several popups the last time this happened. I did not see this in any of the time I played v1.2.

My system specs:

Vista 32 bit
Dell Inspiron 9400
CPU: 2x1.73 GHz
RAM: 2GB
Virus Protection: Symantec

Please run DXDIAG, Save All Info, and post dxdiag.txt here (first delete everything after the Sound Devices section so it will fit). Also post your Rome/settings.txt and Rome/logs/system.log files. Note that if you use Vista and have installed the game in the suggested folder c:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\, the active versions of these last two files will have been redirected by Vista to a non-system directory, like c:\users\[name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\. You may have to search your C: drive for them.
